Bourbon Steak Restaurant Review

: If indulgent dining is your goal and price is no object, power chef Michael Mina is your man. You can expect a 16-ounce American Kobe rib-eye to set you back $98, or Japanese Kobe beef to snatch (gulp) $195 from your wallet. Is it worth the splurge? For the most part, yes, especially with chef de cuisine Jeremy McMillan in charge. We like the spiced poached prawns in a gin cocktail sauce, Berkshire pork chop with red cabbage, quince, pear and spiced walnut, and playful treats like lobster potpie, as well as Wagyu oxtail fried rice with a sunny side up egg. And hold out for elaborate desserts like the beignets with Scotch-soaked butterscotch pudding. Staff is professional and well trained in the nuances of each dish. The wine list is bright, too, with eclectic, international offerings managed by two sommeliers. Prices range from a $14 glass of Grüner Veltliner to Champagne that's $2,520 a bottle. For an after-dinner drink, how about a $2,500 shot of Macallan 55-year-old single malt whiskey? Somewhat surprisingly, the mood isn't stuffy and the background music is more Doors than Debussy. There's even a bar menu that includes a killer Southern pimento cheeseburger and Korean chicken.
